So would it be the 14th Amendment?

I meant 15th, not 14th.

Yes, I think the 15th is the correct answer. It was meant to ensure the right to vote for former slaves, but was rather indirect about it. The 14th was meant to do the same thing, but was so indirect it was violated, making the 15th necessary. So, you choose: 14th or 15th. The 19th and 26th were very direct and explicit.

i would say its 15 because it extended the right for african americans to vote, but then right number 19 extended the right for women to vote

To find the answer to this question, we need to understand the amendments listed and their impact on extending rights to different groups of people.

A. The twenty-sixth amendment grants the right to vote to all citizens who are 18 years of age or older.

B. The fourteenth amendment was adopted after the Civil War and addresses equal protection under the law for all citizens. It guarantees citizenship and equal rights to African Americans.

C. The fifteenth amendment prohibits the denial of voting rights based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It was intended to protect the voting rights of African American men.

D. The nineteenth amendment grants women the right to vote.

Based on this information, the correct answer would be D. The nineteenth amendment extended voting rights to a new group of people, namely women.

Therefore, the indirect extension of rights to a new group of people is not represented by option A, the twenty-sixth amendment. Instead, it is represented by option D, the nineteenth amendment.
